Building Safety Regulator strategic plan 2026 to 2027

Published on

Today, the BSR has published the Building Safety Regulator Strategic Plan, outlining its five priority areas that will guide its work from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027:

  • Improving operations and processes
  • Supporting remediation of buildings with unsafe cladding
  • Ensuring safe construction and smooth Gateway 3 approvals
  • Keeping safety risks and building standards under review
  • Improving professional standards across the built environment

BSR has consulted its statutory committees including the Statutory Residents’ Panel and partner regulators, reinforcing BSR’s commitment to ensuring residents’ voices and lived experiences shape regulatory decisions.

The plan covers one year to allow teh BSR to carefully consider any changes that come with becoming a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB). It also sets the foundation for the next three-year strategy (2027-2030), which will build on lessons learned, emerging risks, technological change and the evolving built-environment landscape.
